Join Cape Fear Botanical Garden Environmental Educators at Spring Lake Community Library for a hands-on, family-friendly program and learn how scientists use tracks, trails, and other clues to discover which animals live nearby. Examine real-world examples of footprints, scat, and animal signs, and create your own animal track.
Held in partnership with Cumberland County Libraries. Events are free. No registration is required.
Please Note: Because many of our events have limited capacity and require advance planning, we’re not able to offer refunds for participant cancellations, reschedules, or missed attendance. However, if the Garden needs to cancel or significantly alter an event due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, we’ll gladly offer alternatives or provide options for a refund or exchange.
